BF,
I was able to cut 100 pristiq into rough equivalent 50 w/o any discernible effect.
Perhaps the coating is not part of the time release; maybe it's just to get it into the gi track. The sustained release may be in the formulation itself.
That you can go two days w/o pristiq is amazing to me. I feel ill w/in 6-10 he's of a missed/forgotten dose.
I'm hearing that you feel like you'll never get off--don't despair--you will. You'll find a way. Maybe 49er's way will work for you.
